If Kathryn hadn't been worried about Jessica's condition, she wouldn't have been able to wake up.Chris replied, "I just woke up. Come and have your breakfast.""Okay." Kathryn sat down and drank a cup of warm water.Chris noticed that Kathryn had a quite healthy morning routine. She would always drink some water in the morning before doing anything else.Kathryn was serving some sunny-side-up eggs for Kelly when Frank came in to inform them that Byron and Travis had come to visit.Kathryn was stunned. She was confused as to why Byron and Travis had come to Sunshine Bay together. Yet, she didn't think much about it as she recalled how often the men from wealthy families socialized with each other.Byron and Travis entered the dining room a short moment after Frank informed Chris of their visit.Travis instinctively glanced toward Kathryn the moment he came in. Kathryn had also looked at him just then, and their eyes met.She had always thought of Travis as a cold and indifferen
Chris, Byron, and Travis still hadn't gone downstairs by the time Kathryn had left with Kelly after breakfast. The atmosphere upstairs was extremely serious.Travis said to Chris, "The Winchesters will fall into chaos soon. The entire city will find out about it very soon."Chris' hand, which was holding a cigarette between his fingers, momentarily paused when he heard what Travis said. His gaze became sharper as he looked at Travis.Travis fiercely took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Benjamin found out about it. He completely turned against everyone at the Winchester residence last night.""What?" Chris frowned as he heard that Benjamin had turned against the Winchesters. He looked toward Travis with confusion.Travis nodded. "Yeah. They had broken out into a fight.""What's there for them to fight about?" Chris didn't sound pleased as he spoke. He didn't want anything to go wrong at a moment like this. He hadn't figured out the matter between Krista and the Winchesters yet.
"It's because Susan's Scarlett's illegitimate daughter," Travis said.Chris and Byron were too stunned to speak.They were surprised about it. Yet, it made sense since Scarlett had passed away after the Winchesters had adopted Susan."Did your family know about it, then? How did you find out about it?"The young mistress of the Reeds having an illegitimate daughter was indeed a very significant matter. They wouldn't have known if Travis hadn't told them about it.Travis gave a wry smile when they asked him how he knew about it. "How could I not know about it? She was Arthur's first love."Chris and Byron were rendered speechless. Arthur's first love, Scarlett, had an illegitimate daughter whom he had adopted. The relationship was indeed a mess.Chris wasn't really surprised by it. After all, he had a stepmother himself. His family was already quite a mess.Byron, on the other hand, was different. His family was strict. Even though his parents already had a significant status,
Chris didn't know why Byron had come to see him today and with Travis.Seeing him silent again, Chris frowned. "Did Markus find Victor and Tally in Montiwood?"Byron shook his head. "No."That was why things on that side were quiet.Montiwood was vast, with plenty of hiking destinations. It wasn't easy for Markus to find Victor and Tally in the mountains.Chris was frustrated thinking about Markus. "Why is he so clueless about relationships now? He wasn't like this before. He was fine during his time at Albert Group."As he thought of the past, Byron was first stunned and then chuckled. "He learned it from you."Chris had no comeback for that. He just looked at Bryon in disbelief.However, Byron acted nonchalant. He raised the glass of water in front of him and took a sip before saying, "He did learn from you."Chris' face turned thoroughly unpleasant.However, he had to admit that it was indeed quite likely that Markus learned from him.After all, Markus had witnessed the e
Kathryn was alarmed and quickly entered the room. Inside, she found a trash can filled with bloody tissues."What's going on? Why is she vomiting so much blood?" Kathryn was in distress.One nurse was busy cleaning up, while another was comforting Jessica.Meanwhile, Kelly was crying in fright.Kathryn hurried to Jessica's side, and the whole room became chaotic.Just then, Janet came over. When she saw the situation, she hurriedly called the doctor.While the doctor examined Jessica, Kathryn stood aside, holding Kelly.Trembling, the little one clung to Kathryn's neck. "Aunt Kathryn, is Mommy going to die?""No, she won't." Kathryn instinctively shook her head, but her heart was wrenching.She didn't know why Jessica had vomited so much blood, and the doctor was urgently trying to stop the bleeding.However, her clotting function had been severely impaired. It took the doctor nearly half an hour to completely stop it.When the ward finally quieted down again, the air still
The man who ruined her life.Without him, she and Matthew might still be divorced, but Kelly wouldn't have suffered the subsequent events.Whenever Jessica thought of Kelly's helpless appearance, she became uneasy.When that man was brought up, Kathryn didn't know how to comfort Jessica.She sighed and said, "Don't think about it for now. The most important thing is your health.""How's the searching going?" Jessica asked.Kathryn replied, "Chris didn't tell me, and I haven't met Tara, either. But I think there should be news soon."Tara had already found the surveillance footage from the hotel and reconstructed it. Considering it was an event many years ago, this was significant progress.Seeing Jessica's pale complexion, Kathryn added, "Rest well and don't think too much about it."Kathryn had thought that bringing Kelly here would comfort Jessica. Little had she known that it would trigger too many unpleasant memories.Seeing Kelly reminded Jessica of the child's suffering
Now, Krista and Savanna were undergoing compatibility testing for Jessica. Kathryn didn't know what to do if they weren't matches either."We'll figure something out. The hospital should—""Please rest assured. We're aware." The doctor nodded.After all, Jessica was a patient specifically mentioned by the dean for special care. He had hired a dedicated expert team for her.If there were resources available, they would prioritize her case.However, the current problem was that they hadn't been able to find a match for bone marrow. This was the worst-case scenario.Kathryn was also feeling overwhelmed.When she came out of the doctor's office, Kathryn found Krista was still there, but Savanna had disappeared.Krista looked at Kathryn with a pained expression.Kathryn didn't know what to say. Seeing Krista in such a state, Kathryn, who was already troubled, now felt suffocated."Can I borrow you for a few minutes?" Krista approached her, her tone cautious.Kathryn replied, "Um,
Kathryn had also experienced Krista's insanity, so now, she had no idea how to face her. She sighed, "You don't have to do this.""Kathryn, I—""You don't have to say sorry or anything like that. Considering our relationship, it's inappropriate for us to have such conversations."Krista was silent, and her breath hitched. If they couldn't have conversations like these, what on earth could they talk about?"I know that. To be honest, when I found out you are my …" When Krista said this, she paused and looked at Kathryn cautiously. She wanted to say she was her daughter, but she didn't deserve to be her mother! No one could understand how much heartache she felt when she recalled the harm she had done to Kathryn."You're right. We can't have such conversations at this point." Krista took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in her chest. During this time, she had been thinking about how to face her. Now that she saw how calm Kathryn was, she realized what she had been doing all t
